Chapter 199: Kidnapping the devil?
"Brother..." Before Lina could feel the surprise of Levi who finally arrived beside her, she was shocked by his words.
Bro, you are better than me...
"How come you are more greedy than her?!" the devil cursed.
He was really defeated by this brother and sister.
My sister was determined to take advantage of his power for free.
The elder brother was even more outrageous. As soon as they met, he was already thinking of packing up the man and taking him back with him, along with his strength and people.
"Don't dream on. I'm not your sister's free bodyguard!" Tam said angrily.
Because he was so angry, this fat catfish was about to turn into an inflatable pufferfish.
However, he smelled an extremely strong and very familiar scent from Levi...the scent of the goddess Janna.
Janna is also an old acquaintance of Tam, and they have had many dealings over the past thousands of years.
Although Tam always called this young goddess, who was less than 7,000 years old, "little girl", he also affectionately called her "little cake in the rain".
But in his impression that there have been no updates for hundreds of years, Janna is still quite powerful and not easy to mess with.
So Tam suppressed his anger and said as restrainedly as possible: "Chosen One of Janna, don't treat me as a fool - you don't really think that I will always be so easy to talk to, do you?"
"I'm not lying to you, Mr. Tam." Levi said calmly, "I don't want you to be our thug for free. I'm sincerely inviting you to join us, the Leader."
"Haha." Tam is not stupid.
To put it another way, are you just pretending he can't hear it?
Joining the Leader means being tricked into becoming a free bodyguard!
"Of course not," Levi said, "Because I'm paid."
"Salary? " The devil grinned, "I'm afraid you can't afford the salary I want."
He patted his round belly, stirring up waves of flesh: "I want to eat people, eat delicious souls, can you give me that?"
"I can take it out." Levi actually nodded.
He said, “There are enough greedy souls in the Twin Cities to feed you.”
"Tsk!" Tam said disdainfully: "Are you talking about those business owners and alchemy barons?"
"Pah, pah, pah... I won't eat something so disgusting."
He does love to feed on greedy souls.
But he prefers freshly baked bread.
"Those greedy, dirty guys who are already cooked without cooking have already burned themselves too much in the fire of desire."
"They taste like dough that's been baked to a black charcoal, it's just disgusting."
Tam commented critically.
"What if it was the Ziben family who were originally pure and kind, but later gradually became corrupt?"
"Is this kind of person just what you like?"
The Ziben family was not born greedy and evil. Many of them were gradually alienated by Ziben during the course of their business and gradually sank and degenerated into desire.
For example, Renata.
She was considered a good person when she was young. She even sacrificed an arm in a fire to save her parents who were assassinated by interest groups.
For example, Camille.
When Camille was young, she was just a girl longing for love. She even considered breaking away from her family and eloping with her lover.
But decades later, they have all become the most stubborn oppressors and the most reactionary exploiters.
"Well... this kind of person is a bit of a head-turner."
"But they have been 'mature' for too long, and they no longer have that taste - the taste of a pure soul trapped in endless desires."
"In short, this kind of food has no soul." Tam still felt a little disgusted.
But Levi didn't give up.
The Ziben family doesn’t eat it, and the once pure Ziben family doesn’t eat it either, so…
"Where is the fallen leader?" Levi asked.
"Huh?" Not to mention Tam, even Lina was shocked.
She looked at her brother in shock: "President, you, you want to feed your own people to this demon?"
"Not our own people," Li Wei said, "but the traitors."
"We have traitors too?" Lina couldn't believe it.
Levi sighed: "Why not?"
"Do you think I set up the Disciplinary Inspection Department just to deal with minor violations?
With the magic of faith detection, the leader can indeed guarantee the purity of the team forever.
But the principle of this magic to ensure purity is not to imprint the thoughts of the leaders, so that everyone will always remain pure and noble and will never have ideological decline.
It can only detect those who have gone bad in time and kick them out of the team before they cause large-scale pollution to the internal system.
In other words, theoretically, some leaders will fall and become traitors.
"But..." Lina still didn't want to believe it.
She couldn't understand it anyway: "We have a faith test ceremony every quarter, and every leader cannot escape it."
All leaders know that if you try to steal, you will be caught.
Because those who are corrupt and traitors will never be able to pass the quarterly test of faith.
Once people discover that their religious piety has declined abnormally drastically, investigators from the Discipline Inspection Department will immediately come to their door to invite them for tea.
"Everyone knows that they will be exposed, so how can anyone dare to be a traitor?" Lina didn't understand.
Levi only asked her: "Everyone knows that Tam can eat people, so why do they still make deals with the devil?"
The answer to this question is one Tam is all too familiar with.
“Hahaha.” The devil laughed, “Because humans are so stupid. Those who are caught up in lust will not have any rationality.”
That’s right, once people become greedy, there is no cure.
Even though people know that they will be discovered if they do bad things, there are still people who cannot control their hands.
Although the number is small and the impact is not significant, some bugs have appeared within the Leader in the past few months since its birth.
Especially after defeating Takeda Saito and seizing the huge wealth left by the Takeda Group...
A small number of weak-willed leaders, especially those followers who already had weak faith, began to get restless.
"They don't dare to do anything petty, such as corruption or embezzlement."
Because as long as I take any action, I will definitely be discovered and I will definitely not be able to stay in the Leaders Association anymore.
The salary offered by the association is not low. Giving up a long-term job for that little money is not worth it even from an economic point of view.
"So those traitors, if they come, they will come with big ones."
Because they will definitely be discovered, those who have degenerate thoughts, corrupt morals, and deteriorated beliefs, and eventually become traitors, basically want to "make a big buck and run away" before the next round of belief tests.
Some of them took huge sums of money and wanted to run away, escaping to Noxus to become rich.
Some stole confidential information and wanted to sell it to Piltover, and apply for political asylum at the same time.
Some even killed their own people and took their companions' heads as a token of loyalty in exchange for high rewards offered by the enemy.
Anyway…
"They are all damn guys." Levi said coldly.
Traitors are more hateful and more harmful than enemies.
Although there are very few such people, their appearance can only be considered an extremely small probability situation.
However, as the scale of leaders continues to expand and their numbers continue to increase, this extremely low-probability event will pop up from time to time, just like the European emperor players in pay-to-win mobile games.
Levi can conclude that there have been traitors not only in the past and now, but there will definitely be traitors in the future.
"We leaders are human after all, and we can make mistakes."
"The organization can also help correct common mistakes."
“But how can someone who knows that there are strict rules and is familiar with the theory of faith, yet can still make such a big mistake, repent?”
Embarrassing huge sums of money, stealing secrets, betraying the organization, killing companions... According to the discipline of the leaders, traitors of this kind, who are of a serious nature and have caused great losses to the association, will be taken out and shot once they are discovered.
But now Levi found that shooting seemed a bit of a waste.
"Tamu, you should like this kind of food the most, right?"
"This..." Tam was stunned.
Of course he likes it.
Because the souls of leaders are pure.
If there is a difference, it is only the difference between pure and purer.
So the traitor who appeared among the leaders, then...
Aren’t these naturally born corrupted souls his favorite delicacy?
"Can you still smell human desires and taste the stench of the fallen?" Levi asked again.
“The scent,” Tam corrected.
"So that means it can be done?"
"Of course," the demon replied.
He could smell the fragrance of a pure soul that had fallen into the abyss of desire even from hundreds of kilometers away.
"Isn't this a good match for your profession?" Li Wei happily invited:
"Tam, I invite you to join the Leader as a consultant to the Disciplinary Inspection Department."
"You will be the one to deal with those traitors who betrayed the organization, killed their companions, committed serious crimes, and are unforgivable and unforgivable."
